extracting subtitle file from MKV

[MikeBintouch]

Hi. Using MakeMkv, I've converted a DVD to an MKV file (I no longer have the DVD). I'd like to extract the subtitle file and use it as a guide to make new subtitles. Is there a program that can do this? I tried MKVtools 2.1 and it complained about the MKV file and would then do nothing. Hopefully there is something better.

Thanks. I managed to find it and download it, though, unfortunately not from here or the developers site. I've now got a very large sub file and having to deal with that. But, the program does what I asked and now I just have to sort my subtitle editor out and everything should work. Thanks again.

Try Subtitle Edit select file then import subtitle from Matroska mkv file

The sub file type is turning out to be a problem. None of the subtitle editors I've tried (Jubler, Aegisub, Subsfactory) can open the file. Does anyone know a Mac program that can read that file type? TIA.
